Mount Baldy is a small ski resort overlooking the Okanagan Valley in southern British Columbia just north of the border Washington state. Its road access is via McKinney Road from Oliver and from BC Highway 3 north of Bridesville and BC Highway 33 west of Rock Creek, in the Boundary Country. The summit is in the Okanagan Highland.

In 1968, its first season, Baldy operated as a ski cat area with McKinney Tee bar. A year later, the resort acquired a T-bar. The T-bar base at 5650ft a.s.l. is the highest base of any ski resort in Canada. The lift was recently replaced with a double chair.

Another lift, Sugarlump (also known as Sugarloaf) was opened in the 2007-2008 ski season.

The hill is unique as in that the associated village of 150 ski cottages are ski-in ski-out. The resort is renowned for its big pow Thursday and glade skiing.
